Hey, is there an easy way to paint the slats in our driving lights just like some saleens do.

Wait for someone else to confirm this, but I know on the fbody's to paint the inside, you have to take the headlights out, put them in an oven till the glue heats up then pull them apart, paint them, put them back together and seal them back up. Not that bad of a process, and if you are halfway careful with spray paint you can get good results. My buddy did it with his 02 Z28, and it looks pretty damn good.
